Ihave known Comrade Hanecki since 1903, when he was
a representative of the Polish Social-Democrats at our Party
Congress. I later knew him all the time as a member of the
Polish C.C. I had an opportunity of watching him work at
close range in 1912–1914, when we lived together in Cracow.
From there Comrade Hanecki repeatedly travelled for
underground work in Poland, carrying out C.C. assignments
both abroad and in Russia. I fully recommend him for the
Party.
